Fall Color in the Summer
Why Flame Thrower® Redbud Trees?
Delivering rich fall color when most other varieties are plain green, the Flame Thrower® Redbud has all the great attributes of the Redbud...just in a bold new hue for your landscape.
Heart-shaped foliage emerges in a strong burgundy red that turns yellow, then green as it matures. As each leaf grows, you'll see a beautiful blend of multiple colors on every branch, setting your garden alight and giving you the best yard on the block.
In early spring, each branch of your Flame Thrower® welcomes the season with lovely reddish-purple flowers. That means you get color from month to month with your Flame Thrower®, with unbelievable elegance in spring and warm autumnal tones in summer.

Frame Thrower Redbud
My Redbud turned out to be a weeper. It is absolutely stunning, but I'm unsure on how to prune it.
Purchased this tree for friends
Purchased this tree for friends (that just lost a loved one) because of the heart shaped leaves and beautiful colors. When it arrived the box was damaged as was the tree. Contacted FGT and the company sent out a new one immediately. The new tree arrived in a well cared for box and the tree looked great too. Delivered it to our friends, they planted it and say it is doing well. Thank you FGT for your care and action. Will be ordering from you again.
Trees arrived and are beautiful
I got a 4’ and a 5’ delivered this weekend. They arrived in good condition. Planted them like a brain surgeon carefully in their pre-dug and soil amended holes. Keeping fingers crossed that they make it. Purchased one a year and a half ago and it’s doing beautifully… see previous review. Still intend to purchase more. The colors that it adds to the yard are phenomenal.
Beautiful upon arrival!
Tree arrived beautifully! More leaves attached than expected. It already has so much beautiful red leaves pushing out. Great packing as the tree had a bamboo stake for support and was attached with ties. Quick shipping. Ordered on Tuesday and it arrived on a Sunday via FedEx. Will definitely be ordering more. Would love to have a rising sun redbud when it comes back in stock and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a redbud tree. Thank you for a great purchase :)
Beautiful tree
My tree is 1 yr old. Live it. Neighbors live it. They have purchased as well. As soon as it comes back in stock, I’m buying 3 more. It hasn’t grown much I a year. It is still about 4 ft tall but the colors are so vibrant. I am in zone 5b (Chicago area).
